Thanks again for the writers who let me use their OC's for my stories.

DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN WRECK IT RALPH OR THE OC'S EXCEPT FOR ALDEN MONDE.

Previously...

Felix and the candy citizens have just finished building temporary homes for the racers and were starting to move in.

Present...

The Racers were starting to move into their own homes within East Niceland. Felix had constructed twelve apartment homes for the candy-themed racers, leaving them to share the homes in pairs. This wasn't really much of an issue for them...well, except for Barry.

"No way! I'm not gonna leave you alone with my sister again.", Barry said to Jerry. He still accepted his and Bubblina's dating life. But ever since she was almost attacked by cybugs during the last infestation, he had a bit of difficulty trusting him with her again.

"C'mon Barry! It wasn't my fault the cybugs came back.", Jerry said, trying to defend himself. "Plus, how was I supposed to know that the update messed with her sleep issues? What was I supposed to do, huh?"

"Oh I don't know? Maybe not leave her alone? Keep her safe?", Barry retorted. The gummy themed boy looked at his friend, then back down at his own feet, feeling like a bit of his pride hurt. "Yeah. Why did I leave her alone?", he thought to himself.

Meanwhile, while the two boys were arguing, Bubblina overheard them from the other side of the block and ran as fast as she could to them. "What are you two yelling about now?", she asked.

"Bubblina, I'm sorry but you can't stay with Jerry right now.", Barry said as he grabbed his sister's arm and started pulling her to his apartment.

"Wha-what are you talking about?", Bubblina said as she pulled her arm back.

"(Sigh...) I mean, you can't stay with Jerry...at least not until we get back to our game.", Barry sighed. The bubblegum girl glared at him.

"And why not?", she said as she put her hands on her hips.

"Bubbles, come on. He left you alone when the cybugs attacked. If it wasn't for me, then you would have been eaten.", Barry said, his voice sounding worried.

"But Barry, that was before we even knew about the cybugs.", she said to her overprotective sibling. "And besides, none of it was his fault. I mean look at me. I'm fine.", she said in a cheerful tone.

"But sis, how am I supposed to protect you if he's not around?", Barry said as he pointed to Jerry. The gummy boy felt offended that they thought that he was incapable of protecting his girlfriend. But seeing as how these two were arguing, he knew that he better stay out of it. "What if something else attacks you?", Barry continued.

Bubblina was starting to get irritated at her brother's actions. "And what's gonna attack me here, huh Barry? Some ducks and chickens?", she said as she put her hands on her hips.

"It could happen!", Barry said.

Bubblina had had enough of this. "Whatever Barry. I'm gonna stay with Jerry.", she said as she grabbed her love's hand and pulled him into her apartment.

"Bubblina, wait!", Barry called out but it was too late. The pink racer had already shut her door. Barry stood at the 'New Racers' Street' alone.

But unknown to him, Adorabeezle had heard the whole exchange. She quietly sneaked up behind him. "Hey Barry!", she yelled from behind him, surprising the OC.

"Gah!", Barry yelled in surprise before turning to see a giggling Adorabeezle. "Beezy!", he said, looking both annoyed and embarrassed.

"Sorry Barry.", Adorabeezle laughed. Barry at first seemed mad, but then laughed as well. He simply couldn't stay mad at the frozen dessert racer. "It's okay Beezy. It was about time someone else other than Vanellope got scared here.", Barry said.

"So, what are you still doing out here?", Adorabeezle asked.

"Oh nothing. I was just trying to convince Bubbles to stay with me so I can keep her safe.", Barry answered.

"Why? Couldn't Jerry stay with her?", said Beezy.

"That's just it. He wasn't able to do that when we were back home.", Barry responded. "(Sigh...) I just have a bit of trouble trusting him again."

Adorabeezle nodded in understanding. She then wrapped her arm around Barry's. "Come on Barry. You know him. He loves your sister. He's also your best friend.", she told the bubblegum boy. Barry didn't respond. Sensing that she wasn't doing much to convince him, she tried to get closer to him until her head was resting on his shoulder. "Barry, remember when the cybugs attacked, and we were fighting the Vi-Brid Candy?", Barry slowly nodded. "Well, when you and Alden were fighting him, I overheard Honey getting the alert from her bees that the cybugs were getting close to the game's exit. Jerry was injured at the time. But as soon as he heard Honey saying the bees were with Bubblina, he got into his kart and rushed to keep her safe.", she finished explaining.

Barry looked at her, surprised. "Did he really do that?", he asked. The ice racer nodded. "Woah. So he really does care for her that much." He looked at the female racer. "So, uh, I guess I should go apologize...right?", he asked, rubbing the back of his head.

Adorabeezle smiled at him. "Yeah. But maybe tomorrow." The OC agreed. "So Barry, can I stay with you tonight?", she asked. "Of course! Let's go.", he said cheerfully as he made his way to his apartment. Adorabeezle chuckled a bit before following him inside.

Up on the roof of the Niceland apartment, Alden saw the whole thing. "(Sigh...) Even OC's get to find that special someone. I wonder when that will happen to me?", he asked no one in particular. But what Alden didn't know was someone was behind him as well.

"Hey Alden.", the voice said. Startled, he quickly turned around and got his knife ready. Who he saw, however, was someone he never expected.

"Nougetsia?", Alden asked. Nougetsia had her arms up in defense. "Y-yeah." She looked down at the blade infront of her. "Uh, do you mind putting that away?", she asked, feeling a little frightened.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry.", Alden apologized as he put his knife away. "So, what are you doing up here?"

"I-uh, well, actually... I just wanted to see if you were alright.", the yogurt girl said. Alden smiled.

"Yeah, I'm alright.", he said as he turned and sat on the edge of the building. Nougetsia walked over and joined him.

"Oh good.", she said. Alden just nodded. they remained silent for a few minutes, just looking around East Niceland and seeing the racers go into their homes. that was until Nougetsia finally broke the ice. "So, Alden, what were you saying a while ago?"

Alden looked curiously at her. "Huh? Oh that. Nothing really. Just thinking about how most of the racers were happy with, you know, having someone to be with.", he said sadly.

"Oh really? Why? Don't you have someone in your life?", she asked.

"No.", he said as he looked down at the other residents. "But hey. I have only been here for a few days.", he said, feeling a bit hopeful. "And who knows? Maybe it will happen someday."

Nougetsia smiled at this. "Yeah. It could be sooner than you think.", she said quietly. Unfortunately, Alden heard this.

"What?"

"Oh nothing.", she said as she got up, a hint of blush starting to form on her already pinkish cheeks. Alden started to get up as well. "Well, I hope you find that someone."

"Thanks.", Alden replied.

"Okay.", Nougetsia was about to walk away but remembered something. "Oh yeah. I forgot." She gave the almond boy a peck on the cheek, causing him to blush this time. "Thanks for saving us...and me", she said, smiling.

"A-alright.", he stuttered, feeling shy all of the sudden. Nougetsia was about to walk away again but Alden managed to call her. "Wait Nougetsia. do you have a place to stay?"

Nougetsia just shook her head. "Not really. Most of the racers already paired up. But I think I can ask Mr. Felix if I can stay with him."

"Well...why don't you stay with me?", he asked politely. Nougetsia seemed unsure.

"A-are you sure it's alright?", she asked

"Yep. I don't have anyone else staying with me.", he answered.

Nougetsia sheepishly nodded. "Okay. Thank you."

"Come on then.", Alden said happily before jumping off the roof with the sound of an eagle in the background as he jumped. Nougetsia screamed. "Alden!" she looked over the edge of the roof to see if her new friend was alright.

Below her, she saw him emerging from a shrub. "Well? C'mon!", Alden yelled from below.

"I-I'll just take the elevator.", Nougetsia yelled back.

Alden chuckled and made his way to his apartment at the end of the block.

Inside the apartment...

Alden and Nougetsia were in the living room. Ralph and Felix made each apartment comfortable enough to accommodate the racers. Each had their own tv that broadcasted local arcade news and shows, two bedrooms and one bathroom and a small kitchen.

Alden was in the living room, sitting on the couch with Nougetsia, watching World's Dumbest Drivers.

"Haha...Did you see that? How could a guy drive his SUV into a mall and try to ride it down the escalator?", Alden laughed, causing Nougetsia to laugh as well. "Yeah. That was just stupid."

After half an hour of watching, Alden heard Nougetsia's stomach rumble. "Was that you?", Alden asked, smiling a bit. "Nougetsia nodded sheepishly. "Yeah. Sorry about that."

"That's okay. I'm a bit hungry myself.", he said as he got up. "I'll go cook us something, ok?", he asked as he went into the kitchen.

"Wait Alden. You don't have to.", Nougetsia said.

"Oh, it's no bother.", Alden replied. He went into the kitchen, pulled out his hypercube and started taking ingredients from inside the device. He pulled out some rice, flour, cream, molasses, strawberries, a blender, a canister of liquid nitrogen, a bottle of chocolate syrup, some cheese, coconut milk, regular milk and salt.

Another half hour later, he was done cooking. "Nougetsia. It's ready.", he called out. Nougetsia came into the room to see Alden had set up their dinner.

"Woah. What is all this?", she asked. The food that had been set up seemed unfamiliar to her.

"Oh just some desserts with a bit of Filipino twist.", he said as he pointed out the various dishes. "Here we have a suman. It's like a sticky rice patty.", he said, grabbing the molasses and pouring some of it on the treat. "This is chocolate rice pudding.", he said, picking up the bowl full of pudding. "Here we have some strawberry ice cream. This one is cheese ice cream."

Nougetsia looked confused at this. "Wait. Did you say cheese?"

"Yup. It's very popular in the Philippines. You should try it."

"Maybe later.", she said, trying not to offend the boy. Alden just nodded and they started eating. As they were eating, they talked for a while, getting to know each other. Nougetsia even tried the cheese ice cream and liked it, even though it was very unusual. After eating, they cleaned up, went for their individual bedrooms and prepared for bed. They got their stuff from their hypercubes and went to sleep.

The next day...

Mr. Litwak opened up the arcade. All of the games and players went with their daily routines of gameplay. All except for Sugar Rush.

An hour after Litwak opened up, the delivery truck for the new Sugar Rush console arrived. The delivery men brought the pieces of the console in. This console looked very different from the old console. For one, the console was chrome and light blue as opposed to the usual pink. It looked more like a large flatscreen instead of the original CRT screens. The seats were also a bit strange. They looked like they can seat two people at once, with the rear seat being positioned higher than the main driver's seat. The controls were also found on the seats as opposed to being connected to the main screen.

After twenty minutes, the game was finally set up. "Well, here you go Mr. Litwak. Your new Sugar Rush console. I hope you like it.", a man with a a name tag that said 'Henry' said.

"Thank you Henry.", he said, a sad tone obvious in his voice.

"What's wrong Mr. Litwak?", Henry asked.

"Nothing really. I guess I just kinda got used to the old Sugar Rush.", he said as he looked at the new machine. "This one just seems...too new... I guess."

Henry thought a bit and got an idea. "Wait here Mr. Litwak." He rushed to the truck and pulled out some pink panels. "Here you go. We can put these over the main console so it looks like the old one. ", he said as he put up some plexiglass panels painted exactly like the original Sugar Rush cover. "And look, it even lights up."

The elderly arcade owner smiled at this, happy to see the 'new' console. "Thanks Henry."

"Your welcome sir.", he said as he packed up his tools. "Well, I got to go. Give my best to Paolo, okay.", he said as he went out to his truck.

"Okay. Take care.", Mr. Litwak replied as he bid the crew goodbye.

A few minutes later, I arrived with some guests.

"Hey Mr. Litwak.", I greeted.

"Hey Paolo. You just missed Henry.", he said.

"Oh really? That's too bad. Oh vell, I'll just tell him later."

As I entered, Mr. Litwak noticed a few people behind me. "Uh Paolo, who are they?", he asked.

"Oh, sorry sir. These three are my relatives.", I said, gesturing to three preteen kids, one being a girl and two being boys, "Gavin", I pointed to a fifteen year old looking boy wearing a blue Avengers t-shirt and khaki shorts , "James", I gestured to another fifteen year old boy with a red Spiderman shirt and blue pants, "and Kirsten", I said, pointing to a twelve year old girl with a red and green blouse with white shorts and green striped leggings. "They are our cousins. They're here to help us to test the games and install the updates."

I then introduced him to another girl with a similar age as me with a red cap, purple shirt, and gray capris. "And also Mr. Litwak, this is my sister Iggy."

"Oh, very nice to meet you all.", the very nice owner greeted. Everyone greeted him back. "So, I suppose you are all here to help with the new Sugar Rush?", he asked kindly, to which they all said yes. "Very well then. I'll let you all get to it then. If you need anything, just call me, ok?"

Once everyone agreed, we all started our work on the Sugar Rush game. But as we were about to get to the console, Mr. Litwak called me. "Hey Paolo, can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Yes sir. What is it?"

"You see, I wanted to ask you about your relatives. Are you sure those cousins of yours can handle this type of work?", he asked, looking carefully at Gavin who was plugging in his laptop to the console.

"Yes sir. Gavin is really a genius. He knows as much about programming as me. He can handle this update.", I assured him.

"Well, what about those other two?", he said, referring this time to James and Kirsten.

"Actually, James and Kirsten don't really know as much as we do. But they are very good game testers. They were even the ones who helped me design new characters."

"Alright... Wait, did you say new characters?", he asked, a bit shocked.

"Well, yeah. We got comissioned to make new ones. I already planned three more when I was making Alden. But I had to get some help for the design, so I asked James and Kirsten to help me design three more. Good thing that Iggy and Gavin were able to construct the others so quickly"

"Wow. That's one great family you got there.", he said as he looked at the group who had already started on the update and smiled.

"Thanks.", I said, smiling at them as well.

"Hey Nong, can you help me out here?", Gavin said.

"I'm coming.", I said before turning to face Mr. Litwak. "Sorry sir, but I got to go help."

"No worries. I'll leave you to your work.", he said as he left.

I got back to my cousins and we started with the new update. While they were installing the updates, I was busy installing the new computer so I could track the progress of the game remotely, and allow some players to create some of their own. It really didn't take that long, the updates only taking a couple of hours before we finished. After we were done, we stayed at the arcade to play the games.

The rest of the day went by quickly for both the gamers and the game characters. The Fix-It Felix Jr. game continued their usual daily gameplay. During the time the game was being played, the Sugar Rush characters stayed in East Niceland to avoid being seen by the players.

James and Kirsten were playing the bonus levels of Fix-It Felix while Gavin, Iggy and I were playing Hero's Duty. Later on, we played Dance Dance Revolution.

After all of this, the last update had finished loading and the Sugar Rush game screen booted up. I went over to Mr. Litwak.

"Hey Mr. Litwak. We're done with the update. The console should be done booting up in two hours, but it would be better if you leave the machine running to finish. The players can start playing the game tomorrow. I also finished with the new pc. Now the gamers can add or unlock new characters."

"Wow. You got all that done today?", he asked and I nodded. "Okay, thank you very much.", he thanked us before scratching his head. "Um, how can I let the gamers know if they can make the new characters?"

"How about I set the computer to alert you when someone gets the fastest time in a race? Then you tell them they can make the new characters? Is that alright?"

Litwak agreed. "Very well. But remember, you have to fix any issues that might happen, right?"

"Yes sir.", I chuckled. "Alright, we'll just pack up and head home."

"Okay, thanks again.", he said as we finished packing our equipment and left the arcade as Mr. Litwak closed up for the night.

Inside the game...

The Sugar Rush racers and citizens, along with the residents of Fix-It Felix Jr., overheard the conversation.

"Sweet mother of monkey milk! We can finally go home!", Vanellope exclaimed, already excited. The other racers and citizens cheered as well.

"Hey, calm down kid.", Ralph chuckled at the hyperactive leader. "They said the game will be done later. You know you can't go in when the game's not done loading, right?"

Vanellope stopped jumping around and calmed down. "O-of course I did Stinkbrain. Do you think I wouldn't know that? Come on, Hehe.", she said awkwardly, trying to cover up the fact that she did forget.

Ralph looked a bit suspiciously at her. "Uh huh." He then turned to the other racers. "So, uh, King Candy... are you all gonna be alright later? I don't think I can go with you all later."

"Yes Ralph. I'm sure we'll be fine.", King candy smiled. The racers agreed with their king.

The Sugar Rushers then went about their remaining time just hanging out with their friends and packing up their stuff before they went back to their 'new' game. While the usual couples were spending time with each other, Nougetsia and Alden were taking a stroll around Niceland park, talking about how funny it was when Barry would instantly give in to Adorabeezle.

"Really? How did Adorabeezle manage to get Barry to do that?", Alden asked.

"I have no idea. All she told me was Barry ended up getting thrown out of Batman Arkham Origins.", the yogurt racer laughed. As the two were chatting, I called Alden and the Thriller song was heard.

"Hello?", Alden said as he answered the call.

"Hey Alden. I just wanted to let you know that the update's finished. Everyone can return to Sugar Rush now."

"Really? Thanks Kuya!", he replied before running off to tell the others while dragging Nougetsia behind him.

"Wait Alden! Just a warning." Alden stopped in his tracks. "Although the new game will be just like the original, the world there will be way bigger and some areas were added." I then noticed him holding onto a certain pink racer. "Wait a minute. What are you doing with Nougetsia?"

Alden looked behind to see that he in fact was still holding onto her. "Oh, uh, nothing. Nothing at all.", he said suddenly, letting go of the girl.

"Uh-huh... Well it's good to see my little OC brother already has a girlfriend.", I teased.

"Kuya! We were just talking!", he defended. Nougetsia thought this was both sweet and awkward. "Y-yeah. We were just talking.", she repeated.

I smiled at them. "Oh, okay. I got to go. Just be good to each other, alright.", I said before logging out.

"Well... that happened.", Alden said. Nougetsia chuckled and pecked him on the cheek. "Come on, let's go tell the others.", she said with a wink and made her way to the racers. Alden nodded and followed her.

A while later...

The racers had finished packing up their belongings and said goodbye to the Nicelanders. They were now in Game Central Station, standing infront of their Game, the sign now saying "New Sugar Rush."

"Well guys, I guess this is it. Our new home.", Vanellope said. The group nodded as they entered the portal to the new game and came out at Waffle Cone Mountain, gazing in awe at their game. "WOAH!"
